Kharros for Government

The acquisition platform from first requirement to contract closeout.

Every acquisition starts with a requirement

Kharros gives contracting and program teams one platform for the whole acquisition: defining the requirement, evaluating proposals against a consistent standard, selecting the source, and managing the contract through closeout.

Born from a joint project of the U.S. Space Force, the Air Force Research Laboratory, and the Defense Innovation Unit.
